Yup and I used real numbers not expected numbers. Those theoretical stats are inherently flawed because there are players that over or under perform these metrics for various reasons.His xA/90 is 0.23, with 0.42 assists per 90, meaning most of his assists are massively inflated.
Foden, who most are unhappy with in terms of creating, is at 0.29xA/90.
Numbers are numbers as you say.
"Players that over or under perform these metrics for various reasons"Yup and I used real numbers not expected numbers. Those theoretical stats are inherently flawed because there are players that over or under perform these metrics for various reasons.
You think Liverpool is upset that Salah only has xA of 7 this year or ecstatic that he's contributed 17 actual assists so far in the prem?
If you say so."Players that over or under perform these metrics for various reasons"
Okay, you dont understand what they mean, theres no conversation to be had here.
Thats NOT how xA works...If you say so.
Players that over or under perform the "expected goals or assists" will always exist.
A guy like KDB will generally always outperform his xG because of the types of shots he takes. A screamer from out of the box, for example, will have a less xG than a tap in. I'm pretty sure this is the only year he hasn't over performed in that metric.
xA is similar. It's impacted by different things such as type of pass (cross, through ball, etc), type of action (open play, set piece, etc), where the pass is played on the field, distance, etc. So a guy who's considered a good crosser, for example, would likely put perform his xA because it's a lower value pass than others.
What could've been...
Some nice shouts. Couple of non starters in there i expect thoughI would like to see the following players on our shortlist at the very least...

I'd really like to see us go in for some South American wonderkids and get them nice and early like we did with Echeverri and Reis...
Franco Mastantuono
Ian Subriabre
Heard good things about Breno Bidon too.
Adam Wharton will be expensive, Baleba will probably cost about 100m too. Can't see Newcastle selling Bruno Guimaraes either, think we missed the boat with him once his release clause was up.
2 more assists for cherki tonight
We really need to bring him in.
If he improves us and we make a decent profit on him, I don’t see the issue.If he had 1 good season with City, the next summer he will start talking about his dream since the first day of his life to play for Madrid.
"We all know my dream club is Real Madrid. Joining the biggest club in the world would be great."
Pretty sure the club shut those rumours down when his agent kept dropping our names, same as with Bruno. Not sure we were ever in.
Can you add headers to the groupings?
I see Goalies, Centerbacks, CMs and Playmakers generally plus young S.A talents.
Where are the fullbacks? ;)
Sexual Assault talents?Can you add headers to the groupings?
